Legend

a humanoid alien species of incredible strength, the Iotrans hail from the planet Iotra. They have three fingers and a strong thumb on each hand, and two foretoes on each foot. At their elbows, shoulders, and hands are sturdy, bone-like spikes that help protect them from attack. They are an extremely military race, letting their actions speak in place of words. Their culture and history are extremely stable, a result of continued military dominance within the government. Many well-known galactic military orders grew out of Iotran military nations; although these Iotran nations have since combined to for the Iotran Police Force, the orders themselves continue to find new members througout the galaxy. Each Iotran citizen must serve in the IPF for six standard years at the age of 14 seasons (about 18 standard years). Iotran technology is crude but reliable, but not up to galactic norms. They have assumed the use of hyperdrives and weapons in order to further their military defenses.
